The SS is a performance car for grownups.
Having said that, it's not the same class of car simply b/c they both have 4 doors & are RWD. They really don't compete against each other.

Did you feel that way about the Pontiac G8 and GTO also or did you dismiss them like everyone else because they didn't scream boy racer?
The Chevy SS ($45,800) is $16,500 less than the Charger Hellcat ($62,300) with a completely different personality so you're right about them appealing to different customers.
As the original owner of a 04 GTO M6, I get it. For $9k more than a load Impala, the SS is a great value, blends into traffic and has serious kick when you mash the gas pedal. Good daily driver. If you can get one when Chevy gives the blow out discounts, they are a really good buy!
